sounds not very likely. At the point where a motorway or even tertiary road
becomes a residential road, it will clearly change a lot (or otherwise it
would remain a tertiary etc. road). A residential link would be a road
between 2 residential roads (or a residential and an inferior road like a
service), because if it were a higher road class to which the residential
connects, the link would be called after that road class.

There's not really a problem calling a road that connects 2 residential
roads a residential road as well.

Examples /(also covering unclassified and even tertiary):
